This is Fun. It’s also turtles all the way down. Huzzah!

And if a rampant n00b such as myself can do it, so can you. Get out there and play

I’ve been learning a lot about accessibility recently, and now I think about it with everything I do. I have NO idea how maps like this are for accessibility, but I’m thinking Not Great. Tomorrow, I will be asking some amazingly cool people about this. Stay tuned for updates.

* Keep an eye on the Web Toolkit blog for upcoming posts about ODD and APIs and such goodness.

** Basically – use the kimonolabs plugin, then the GeoJSON tool for Google spreadsheets, followed by importing everything into TileMill. Voila***.

*** Frootling may be required. This is Normal and probably Required. If you don’t want to make your own datasets, check out data.govt.nz and koordinates.
